Colts 27 Jaguars 20
Earlier in the year the Jaguars stunned the Colts with a game winning field
goal in Indianapolis. Now with the rematch the Colts have a winning streak and
appear to be heading for the playoffs, as the Jaguars are just limping home. Look
for the game to be fairly close this time around, but the Colts would win in
the end.

Bengals 24 Browns 10Oh my Ohio, thankfully those outside of the Buckeye State are sparred from this stink
bomb of a game. The Bengals have two wins, and a mess all around, while the
four-win Browns are just two weeks from a complete house cleaning. The Bengals
look to be willing to give teams a fight at least, while the Browns have clearly
decided to mail in the rest of the season.

Cowboys 14 Ravens 10
When Texas Stadium opened 37 years ago it was hailed as a modern marvel, as
a hole in the roof kept fans out of the elements, while as Dallas fans would put
it "Allowing God to see his Cowboys.' It would quickly gain iconic status as
the Cowboys became "America's Team", with the stadium featured during the opening
credits to the popular TV show Dallas. There is no chance the Cowboys are going
to lose their final game at Texas Stadium with the playoffs on the line.

Saints 34 Lions 30It's now or never, for the Motor City Kitties, as the Lions at 0-14, need a win to
avoid becoming the first team to start 0-15 in NFL history. Ironically the only
other team in this situation was the Saints who beat the Jets in 1980 to avoid
a 0-16 season in the next to last game of the season. Unfortunately, for the
Lions the Saints passing attack will be too much as the Saints edge escape in
a shoot out.

Dolphins 24 Chiefs 10Ordinarily winning in Kansas City is a tough chore, but this year's Chiefs coming
off a bad loss are a shell of their ordinary selves with a one dimensional offense.
Look for the Dolphins tough defense to go in and get the win, giving themselves
a chance to complete a remarkable 1-15 to postseason turnaround.

Patriots 27 Cardinals 10The Cardinals have played terrible on the East Coast against other playoff contenders;
after last week being exposed as a paper champion do they actually have a
shot to win in Foxboro? I say no. Look for the Patriots to win easily as the Cardinals
show just how shallow their division title is.

49ers 24 Rams 0Of all the bad teams in the NFC, none is finishing stronger then the 49ers that have
seemed to come alive under Coach Mike Singletarry. The Rams are just meek in
the meadow, gentle as can be no effort, no hope, and no chance. Don't be shocked
if the 49ers stingy defense gets a shut out.

Buccaneers 17 Chargers 7The Buccaneers once secure playoff spot is slipping away following two tough road
losses in their own division. The Chargers provide welcome relief as they have
a historical tough time traveling east. Look for the Bucs defense to shut down
the Chargers and get team pewter back on rack, as the Chargers slim glimmer of
hope is snuffed out.

-5½

Steelers 17 Titans 13Led by there tenacious defense the Steelers are quickly establishing themselves as
the team to beat in the AFC. With home field on the line, they can take that
mantle officially. Whatever it has been the last few weeks the Steelers find a
way to win, and with the Titans missing a few key players it will happen again.

Broncos 27 Bills 10
If Forrest Gump was predicting this game he would say, "The Broncos are like
a box of chocolates, you never know what team is going to show." Is it the one
that lost at home to the Raiders, or beat the Jets on the road. Is it the one
that's poised to win a division title, or will they choke away their once commanding
lead. Fortunately with the Bills you do know what you will get and that's
a team that has won just two games after starting 4-0.

-4

Texans 31 Raiders 13If not for a 0-4 start the Texans would be a dangerous team right now. Coming off
a win against the playoff bound Titans; the Texans now travel to Oakland and face
the awful Raiders. Look for another big game from Steve Slaton who would get
serious consideration for Rookie of the Year in most seasons, as the Texans hope
to ride the end of the year momentum into next season.

-5

Jets 38 Seahawks 20The Jets need this win, and that could be a problem since they have been terrible
going west all season, losing three games in California. However, last I looked
Seattle is in Washington, and with the Seahawks winless outside their own division
the Jets should be able to have a big day. Look for Brett Favre facing his
old coach, Mike Holmgren to light up the scoreboard and lead the Jets to an easy
win.

-4

Redskins 24 Eagles 20The Redskins ship is sunk; a 5-2 start is but a memory as the Redskins enter the
final two weeks playing just for what little pride they have left following an
embarrassing loss to the Bengals. The Eagles on the other hand a re red hot and
making a charge for the playoffs. What does that mean? The Redskins are going
to burst the Eagles bubble because nothing revives a sagging NFC East team like
ruining a division rival's hopes.

Vikings 31 Falcons 27
This one could be quite interesting as both teams have playoff hopes, but plenty
of work to do. The Falcons almost certainly need to win out while the Vikings
have a slight margin or error. Unfortunately for the dirty birds the game
is in Minnesota. Look for the Vikings to ride the home field to a hard fought win
over the Falcons.

+5

Giants 24 Panthers 13After an 11-1 start the Giants once seemingly unsinkable ship has hit rough waters.
However, both losses were to division rivals, and they need just to win this
one to land home field through out the playoffs. Look for them to rebound nicely
as the game for the number one seed goes to big blue who gets back on track
with a big defensive effort against the Panthers.

Bears 37 Packers 17
Revenge is a dish best served cold, and it is going to be very cold in Chicago
on Monday Night when the Bears host the Packers needing a win to stay alive
in the NFC North. When they first met it was the Packers winning by a blowout
at Lambeau Field, they have not won since. They won't win this week either as the
Bears enjoy a blow out of their own.
